What Does A Pimple On Lips Indicate?
Question: Hi. Is this a pimple or cold sore on my upper lip? Im kind of freaking out because i have never gotten a cold sore before and i read online that they are herpes?! I am pretty sure i do not have herpes or any STDs... I am a virgin and gave my boyfriend oral sex a couple times awhile ago but he is negative from all those diseases. However i did just start a pack of birth control about a week ago i dont know if that has anything to do with it and i am breaking out on my face. Please help.
Brief Answer:
Small eruptions which are more likely to be related to the pimples
